Conington nr. St. Ives / Contone / Cunitone

There are five entries for this Conington [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/TL3266/conington/] [accessed 30 June 2016], none of which mentions cleric or church in it. The RCHM (Cambridgeshire, 1968) does not mention a font in this church. The Victoria County History (Cambridge…, vol. 9, 1989) notes: "The advowson of Conington church, recorded by 1217, (fn. 14) presumably belonged originally to the Picot fee. […] Carved fragments including the top of a piscina survive from a 12th-century building. […] The medieval chancel survived until 1870 […]; a new font was given". The Parish of St Mary's web site [www.henyhill.org/cthi.html] informs: "The font, at the east end of the nave, replaced a far older font, now in the tower gallery, which had projected from the wall on the north side, also in 1870."
